Fish Handlers Disease
I caught a keeper before work on Friday (I work in a school). Anyway, I brought the fish in and cut it up for a science class. I gave out some fillets to my co-workers. One of the teachers I gave the fish to was out on Monday. Today she told me that she had to go to the hospital because she broke out in a rash and started to run a high fever with very swollen glands in her neck. She told me that the doctor informed her she had gotten fish handlers disease from some bacteria that comes from the hands of the one who handles the fish. No one else I gave the fish to got sick. She is kind of a prankster, and I think she is pulling my leg. Does anybody know if the symptoms she listed are consistant with those of fish handlers disease?
